PIERRE POVThe horizon was ablaze with the fire of the setting sun, the slanting rays giving a warm tinge of red-orange to the sky, casting long shadows to the ground in its awakening. The air was pleasant to breathe, warm yet refreshing. The gentle breeze of summer brushed through the green leaves of the trees, making the eerie sound liven with the whooshing sound of the air.I stood on the solid ground, my eyes roaming all over the vast, picturesque estate spread before me. Long white pillars stretched from the ground, ascending into the sky to hold down and firmly, an opulently constructed three floors mansion, carefully carved, bent, and twisted by the experts to give an intimidating, yet lavish feeling surrounding the whole house. The walls were well painted in cream color with black accents here and there, and the stairs aligned with the little statuettes making me feel like I have stepped into an ancient Greek world. The lights from the inside seeped magnificently from the vast
PIERRE POVAs soon as my body relaxed on the world’s comfortable bed, I was out in a second. I swear it felt like I was drifting away on a soft, fluffy cloud with Adele singing a lullaby at the back of my head. I woke up about an hour later to the sound of a knock on my door.Despite having slept for only an hour, I felt utterly rested and was pretty energized. I guess the king-sized bed had some sleep elixir buried deep in the mattresses. I jumped off the bed and yanked the door open, revealing Adelaide, aka mom, or birth-giver as Shakespeare would call her, to find her standing at the door, changed into a red dress and black heels. “My little boy.” She once again flew into the room before pulling me into a tight hug. “Mom, I am 17,” I said trying to pull myself off her death clutches,“So what?” She ruffled my hair so hard I felt it biting into my scalp,“You’ll always be my little boy.” She said and slightly pushed me to the side.“It’s time for dinner.” She announced smiling dow
POSEIDON POV“I am full.” I announced dropping my cutlery onto the table and tearing out of the dining room. As soon as I was out of sight, I leaned against the wall, aggressively clutching my chest to calm my savagely beating heart. My thoughts wandered about the place, trying to figure out how the hell it all came to this.It has been a year. A whole year with my mind in gutters, trying to decipher what had actually gone down that night. It has been a year since I have been questioning every single thing about my life, trying to find answers to millions of questions that kept me awake at night. A whole year of me convincing myself that I was normal, call me homophobic but I knew there was no way I could ever be… that way. I mean it couldn’t be true.With a heavy inner struggle, I climbed the stairs hurriedly, taking two at a time until I arrived on my floor and ran straight into my bedroom. After slamming the door and ensuring that it was locked, I plopped myself onto the bed and t
POSEIDON POV~FLASHBACK~“You’ll be hammered before the fun ends if you keep going like this.”Romeo pointed out handing me my sixth… or was it seventh? Don’t care! Anyway, he pointed out as he handed me yet another full glass of wine before taking an empty one from my other hand and placing it on the tray of the passing waiter. I made sure to raise a toast to him before chugging the whole liquid down and then winced at the burning sensation as the liquor traveled down my throat. My eyes continued roaming the expansive hall taking in all kinds of people who have swarmed up to witness the ‘holy matrimony’ of the infamous Gabriel Rhodez and his second wife. I made sure to stay in the shadows, avoiding the limelight at all costs. Today wasn’t about me, it was about him. And I couldn’t afford to be buttered along by the group of bulimic pot-bellied oldies who were lying through their teeth.Don’t call me bitter. It's just that… this wasn’t my kind of crowd. Fancy designer dresses, diamon
PIERRE POV“It’s an honor to have another Young Master join us here.” Young Master? OOOOOOKAYYYYY?“I will leave him in your care then.” Mom replied before giving a small nod to the school’s principal who seemed rather overly enticed by the idea of the ‘other young master’ joining Rhodez High. If I were to be brutally honest, the idea of being called the Young Master didn’t really phase me. I have ever only seen them in Asian movies and never thought that they are a real thing and that someone could be literally addressed as the Young Master. Or those overzealous titles. “Of course Mrs. Rhodez.” She gave out a huge sigh before turning towards me with the biggest grin. I found myself forcing a smile and giving her an awkward wave, then turned to look at the black Cadilac parked a good foot behind us, ready to leave that place.“Let’s not waste any more of your time.” Mom said, then started to turn around. I was in front of her in a heartbeat, running away from the buttering words tha
POSEIDON POVDo you know that feeling? That little jittery spark that sizzles down your spine, then causes butterflies to dance around your tummy whenever the thought of that particular someone crosses your mind? That little shiver that leaves you wondering if they’re real or not... That is exactly what I was feeling. At least at that very moment.I was still in a state of trying to figure out what it was I felt when it came to Pierre. Not even full 24 hours have gone by since his arrival but I was already trying so hard to decipher how I was going to live with him just across the hall. The boy didn't need to do anything, all he had to do was exist, and that only was enough to have my mind in the gutters.Now being alone with him didn't do any help.The sun had just set and the sky was a lovely orange hue, with a gentle breeze brushing around us. I was vaguely aware of his sneak peeks at my naked body, even though he thought I had no idea that he was checking me out. I don’t know what
PIERRE POVThe rest of the weekend flashed by more quickly than I had anticipated. I was still amidst the dire confusion of change, trying to cope with the idea of suddenly being a rich kid living in a house bigger than The Louvre with maids at my disposal all day long. Everything was just so overwhelming and before I could wrap my mind around everything that was happening and cushion myself well, come to terms with that yes this was it, this was my life and I was going to be some trust fund baby, it was already Monday and we were all leaving for school. I don’t know what it was that made me so antsy, but I didn’t sleep a wink the previous night. Luckily, I had thoughts of Poseidon accompanying me for the rest of the night.I should say, he has played rather an important faction around me these past few days, despite the haze and bafflement that was overriding my system. Although the change was good, that didn't mean it was all easy. But at the end of the day, it was change, and no ma
PIERRE POVThe day was rather much lazier than I had expected. It was only after 12, already nearing lunchtime, but we were still milling around getting accustomed to the campus and everything. No classes were held since it was all about orientation and signing up for additional classes... All that turmoil. And I should rather say, Rhodez Empire Academy was a literal heaven on earth. I may have thought I have seen its opulence previously when I came here with mom, even on the internet, but I truly didn’t see a thing. Absolutely, nobody prepared me for the thing I found here. All that I saw that another day was just a drop of water in a cast ocean. It didn’t even begin to compare to everything that was here.First and foremost, the ordonnance itself spoke volumes and the way everything was just in its place had to be the highlight of it all. I was in pure awe. And I did hope that all the hands that worked on this, had the reimbursement they deserved, for they went all out and beyond.
